Starmers comment

Perhaps he meant that. Just remember, he was trying to speak and deal with Trump at the same time, if that was when he said it.

The pictures are both. They are an affront to any sort of decency.

I think “revolting” is a much stronger word. Revolution is what’s needed.

Heart-breaking always feels to me as if the person who says it is focusing on themselves and how they feel - as if that excuses them from action.

Aye - he's obviously not good at multi tasking then 😉

Good grief. Yet another unfair attack on Starmer. Getting a bit tired of this, now…

Having seen the interview our PM looked like a rabbit caught in the headlights…

I didn’t see that, I saw a man thinking the sooner that idiot I have to appear at one with goes home to face the music and I can escape this charade the better.

I have never seen a rabbit caught in the headlights so can’t

Has anyone seen the part of the interview where trump condemned Sadiq Khan? Absolutely appalling - Starmer tried to stop him by putting his hand on his arm and saying he was his friend. It’s obvious that trump can’t abide anyone who isn’t white - just read what he says about the probable new Moslem mayor of New York. How anyone can support this dreadful man who lies, has no decency or diplomacy, is racist, sexist and is a convicted criminal. I’ll stop now before my head explodes.

I agree, and I am no fan of Starmer.

I agree with Lathyrus.

Honestly I have sympathy for Starmer and Victoria - I bet she’d rather be at her paid work as opposed to being the equivalent of the First Lady

It’s one thing to be politically partisan, something else to attack anything and everything the PM says. Revolting or heartbreaking? Given Starmer’s beliefs as a QC, head of CPS as a Labour MP then leader, all I’ve seen is an individual with humanitarian beliefs to guide him

Starmer is right. The pictures of starving children are revolting. I feel revulsion seeing them as most people would knowing this has been a man mad famine.
Revulsion for those who have let this happen too.

Man made not man mad!

AGAA4

Man made not man mad!

Or mad man - Netanyahu.

I am not partisan, I am politically homeless.

I was hoping for better things from Sir Starmer.

Starmer has to do whatever is best for our country.
Remember it’s not Starmer the man but Starmer the PM.I think he does well where DT is concerned.

It must have been in my mind Casdon

Starmer's right, the pictures of starving children are revolting.

You surely have to admit that he works very hard, though. And the first year in office has been full of problems most of which have not been caused by Labour policy but world events. I very much doubt that he gets any enjoyment out of having to deal with Trump but it is what it is and we've got three more years of him...

I would imagine Trump has not forgotten the blimp, if that is the right word, that Khan allowed to be flown in London during his visit here when he was previously President.

Trump dislikes Khan calling him a "nasty man" and "stone cold loser".
Starmer replied to that saying Khan is a friend of mine so not afraid of Trump as has been implied.

I agree with those who say Mr Starmer has been a cool head and steady hands in the company of volatility.
Have you not posted before, GrannyGravy,that Mr Starmer looked like a " rabbit in the headlights"? I wonder why you feel obliged to use this phrase, indicating an inability to act.
I think that he is often playing his poker face despite provocation.
Mr Trump doesn't like the name, or the colour, of Mr Khan. Mr Starmer responded in a way that will have surprised the POTUS: he is accustomed to sycophants.

Mr Starmer looked like a " rabbit in the headlights"

I think that's because of his prescription lenses, which make his eyes look slightly bigger.
